EXCLUSIVE: Paramount Pictures is talks to acquire the feature film rights for the classic sci-fi novel The Stars My Destination for producer Mary Parent . Written by Alfred Bester , the story (which often is referred to as Tiger! Tiger!) follows a man who is shipwrecked in space for years when one day a rescue crew passes him by. Angered, he channels his energies into seeking revenge and begins scheming. The key art of the book is enough to get anyone intrigued.

It has had a long history in trying to make it to screen with various people lining up at one point or another during the past two decades trying to make it, including reportedly Richard Gere, Paul W.S. Anderson and also Bernd Eichinger.
The story was written by Bester as part of a series of stories in a magazine back in 1956 and was said to be inspired by a National Geographic article about a shipwrecked sailor who was surviving on a raft but other ships wouldn’t help him because it was wartime and they assumed that it was a decoy to lure them in to be torpedoed by the Nazis.
